Method and Apparatus for Performing Viewmarking

1. A method comprising: storing view-specific information for a graphical model, the view-specific information identifying at least one view, of a plurality of views, of the graphical model presented within an interface provided by a computing device, and storing the view-specific information being performed by the computing device; storing information identifying a state associated with the at least one view, storing the information identifying the state being performed by the computing device; providing a graphical representation of the view-specific information for display, providing the graphical representation being performed by the computing device; detecting an action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information, detecting the action being performed by the computing device; providing, based on the action, the at least one view of the graphical model for display within the interface, providing the at least one view of the graphical model being performed by the computing device; and setting, based on the information identifying the state associated with the at least one view, the graphical model to the state associated with the at least one view of the graphical model, setting the graphical model to the state associated with the at least one view being performed by the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , where the at least one view includes a group of elements included in the graphical model, and where providing the graphical representation of the view-specific information includes: providing, for display, a graphical representation of the group of elements.

3. The method of claim 1 , where providing the graphical representation of the view-specific information includes: providing, for display, the graphical representation of the view-specific information in conjunction with a view, of the plurality of views, that is different from the at least one view.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining that the at least one view has been updated; modifying, based on the at least one view having been updated, the graphical representation of the view-specific information to form a modified graphical representation of the view-specific information; and providing the modified graphical representation of the view-specific information for display.

5. The method of claim 1 , where providing the graphical representation of the view-specific information includes: providing a textual representation of the view-specific information for display.

6. The method of claim 1 , where the action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information is a first action, the method further comprising: detecting a second action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information; and providing, based on the second action, a textual representation of the view-specific information for display.

7. The method of claim 6 , where the second action is detected prior to detecting the first action.

8. A device comprising: one or more processors to: store view-specific information for a graphical model, the view-specific information identifying at least one view, of a plurality of views, of the graphical model presented within an interface; store information indicating a state of the graphical model, the state of the graphical model being associated with the at least one view of the graphical model; present, for display, a graphical representation of the view-specific information; detect an action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information; present, for display and based on the action, the at least one view of the graphical model within the interface; and set, based on presenting the at least one view of the graphical model for display, the graphical model to the state of the graphical model associated with the at least one view of the graphical model.

9. The device of claim 8 , where, when presenting the graphical representation of the view-specific information, the one or more processors are to: present, for display and based on the view-specific information, a thumbnail image of the at least one view.

10. The device of claim 8 , where, when presenting the graphical representation of the view-specific information, the one or more processors are to: present, for display, the graphical representation of the view-specific information in conjunction with another view of the plurality of views, the other view being different from the at least one view.

11. The device of claim 8 , where the one or more processors are further to: detect a modification to the at least one view; and modify the graphical representation of the view-specific information based on the modification.

12. The device of claim 8 , where, when presenting the graphical representation of the view-specific information, the one or more processors are to: present, for display, a textual representation of the view-specific information.

13. The device of claim 12 , where the action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information includes a first action, and where, when presenting the textual representation of the view-specific information, the one or more processors are to: detect a second action relating to the graphical representation of the view-specific information, and present, for display, the textual representation of the view-specific information based on the second action.

14. The device of claim 13 , where the second action is detected prior to the first action being detected.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising: one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: provide a view, of a plurality of views, of a graphical model for display; store, based on providing the view of the graphical model for display, view-specific information associated with the view of the graphical model and information identifying a state of the graphical model, the state of the graphic model being associated with the view of the graphical model; provide, based on storing the view-specific information and the information identifying the state of the graphical model, a graphical representation of the view-specific information; receive an input associated with the graphical representation of the view-specific information; provide, based on the input, the view of the graphical model for display; and set, based on providing the view of the graphical model for display, the graphical model to the state of the graphical model associated with the view of the graphical model.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , where the one or more instructions to provide the graphical representation of the view-specific information include: one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide the graphical representation of the view-specific information in conjunction with another view of the plurality of views of the graphical model.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , where the view of the graphical model includes one or more of: a group of elements included in the graphical model, one or more screen views, or one or more graphical windows.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , where the view includes one or more model elements included in the graphical model; and where the one or more instructions to provide the graphical representation of the view-specific information include: one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to display provide, for display, an image depicting the one or more model elements.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , where the instructions further comprise: one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine an update to the view; modify, based on the update, the graphical representation of the view-specific information; and provide the modified graphical representation of the view-specific information for display.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , where the input comprises a first input, the instructions further comprising: one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive a second input associated with the graphical representation of the view-specific information; and provide, based on the second input, a textual representation of the view-specific information for display.
